Issuer). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 900 Circle 75
Parkway, Suite 1120, Atlanta, Georgia 30339.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(a)-(c) This Statement is being jointly filed by each of the following persons pursuant to
Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) pursuant
to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act):
Berggruen Holdings North America Ltd., a British Virgin Islands (BVI) business company
(BHNA), Medici I Investments Corp., a BVI business company (Medici), Berggruen
Holdings Ltd., a BVI business company (Berggruen Holdings), Tarragona Trust, a BVI trust

Certain of the Berggruen Parties previously filed with the Commission a Schedule 13G with
respect to 482,740 shares of Common Stock on January 3, 2007 pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) under the
Exchange Act. As of such date, such 482,740 shares of Common Stock represented approximately 6.6%
of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock (based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported by
the Issuer to be outstanding in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2006). This Statement is being filed to report the formation of a group by the
Berggruen Parties and the Resurgence Parties and a change in the investment intent of the Berggruen
Parties.
The Reporting Persons have formed a group with respect to the Common Stock within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person
may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by the
members of the group as a whole. Accordingly, in the aggregate, the Reporting Persons may be
deemed to own beneficially 704,139 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.4% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on the total number of shares of Common Stock reported by
the Issuer to be outstanding in the Issuers Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
June 30, 2007, as filed with the Commission on September 25, 2007). The filing of this Statement
and any future amendments by the Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and
therein, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock in
which such person does not have a pecuniary interest. Furthermore, the Berggruen Parties,
Resurgence and Thompson specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock
owned
10
by Eastman, and the Resurgence Parties specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the
shares of Common Stock owned by the Berggruen Parties.

owned by Tarragona. The trustee of Tarragona is Maitland Trustees Limited, a BVI corporation
acting as an institutional trustee in the ordinary course of business without the purpose or effect
of changing or influencing control of the Issuer. Berggruen is a director of Berggruen Holdings.
The principal business activity of each of BHNA, Medici and Berggruen Holdings is that of a

opportunistic basis, including direct private equity, stocks and bonds, hedge funds, private equity
funds, and real estate. Berggruen is the founder and president of Berggruen Holdings. The

information with respect to the executive officers and managers of
Resurgence is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
(d) - (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (a) convicted in
a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
11
(f) Each of the individuals listed on Schedule I attached hereto is a citizen of the
United States, except as otherwise noted.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Berggruen Parties are all affiliated with Berggruen Holdings, a private investment company
investing internationally in an extensive range of asset classes. The aggregate purchase price of
the 704,039 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Berggruen Parties (which are owned
directly by BHNA) is approximately $5,968,917. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Berggruen
Parties were purchased with investment capital contributed by Tarragona.
The aggregate purchase price of the 100 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Eastman
is approximately $615. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Eastman were purchased
with Eastmans personal funds.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Except as set forth below, the Berggruen Parties acquired the shares of Common Stock for which
this Statement relates for investment in the ordinary course of business. The shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by Eastman were acquired with a view toward Resurgences acquisition of
the Issuer. The Reporting Persons believe that the shares of Common Stock at current market prices
when acquired were undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.
Certain of the Berggruen Parties previously filed with the Commission a Schedule 13G with
respect to 482,740 shares of Common Stock on January 3, 2007 pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) under the
Exchange Act. As of such date, such 482,740 shares of Common Stock represented approximately 6.6%
of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock (based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported by
the Issuer to be outstanding in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2006). This Statement is being filed to report the formation of a group by the
Berggruen Parties and the Resurgence Parties and a change in the investment intent of the Berggruen
Parties.
On
November 7, 2007, Resurgence and its financial partner, Berggruen Holdings, submitted to
the Issuer a written proposal to acquire the Issuer through a statutory cash merger in which the
holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock would receive $7.50 in cash for each outstanding
share of Common Stock held of record on the date the merger becomes effective (the
Proposal). The Proposal states that Berggruen Holdings and/or one or more of its
affiliates would provide the financing in connection with the Proposal. Each of the Reporting
Persons intends to participate in the Proposal.
Other
than as set forth herein and in the Proposal and as would result from
the transactions contemplated by the Proposal, the Reporting Persons have no present
plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in clauses (a)
12
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
No assurances can be given that any agreement with the Issuer relating to the Proposal will be
entered into or that the transactions contemplated by the Proposal will be consummated. The
Proposal provides that, except with respect to certain fee reimbursement provisions contained in
the Proposal, no binding obligation shall arise with respect to the Proposal unless and until
mutually acceptable definitive transaction documentation has been executed and delivered.
The information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Proposal, a copy of which is filed with this Statement as Exhibit 4 and is
incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported owned by each person named
herein is based upon 7,514,784 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Issuer in the Issuers Annual Report on Form
10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, as filed with the Commission on September 25, 2007.
As
of
November 7, 2007, BHNA directly beneficially owned 704,039
shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.4% of the outstanding Common Stock. By virtue
of their relationships with BHNA discussed in Item 2 above, each of Medici, Berggruen Holdings,
Tarragona and Berggruen may be deemed to beneficially own the 704,039 shares of Common Stock
directly beneficially owned by BHNA.
As
of
November 7, 2007, Eastman beneficially owned 100 shares of
Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons have formed a group with respect to the Common Stock within the
meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person
may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by the
members of the group as a whole. Accordingly, in the aggregate, the Reporting Persons may be
deemed to own beneficially 704,139 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.4% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. The filing of this Statement
and any future amendments by the Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and
therein, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock in
which such person does not have a pecuniary interest. Furthermore, the Berggruen Parties,
Resurgence and Thompson specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock
owned by Eastman, and the Resurgence Parties specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the
shares of Common Stock owned by the Berggruen Parties.
13
(b) By virtue of their relationships discussed in Item 2 above, each of BHNA, Medici,
Berggruen Holdings, Tarragona and Berggruen has shared power to vote and dispose of the shares of
Common Stock directly beneficially owned by BHNA.
Eastman
has sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock that
he directly beneficially
owns. Eastman does not have power, shared or otherwise, to vote or dispose of or direct the vote
or disposition of any other shares of Common Stock. Resurgence and Thompson do not have sole or
shared power to vote or dispose of (or direct the vote or disposition of) any shares of Common
Stock.
(c) There were no transactions in the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons or any person
named in Schedule I annexed hereto during the past 60 days, except that Eastman purchased
100 shares of Common Stock on October 16, 2007 at a price of $6.15 per share for a total of
$615. Such purchase was made in the open market on the American
Stock Exchange through a broker.
(d) No person (other than the Reporting Persons) is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock.
(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. |
|
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
Issuer. |
The disclosures contained in Items 4 and 5 of this Statement are incorporated herein in their
entirety by reference.
Each of the Reporting Persons is a party to a Joint Filing Agreement, dated November
7, 2007 (the Joint Filing Agreement), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed to
jointly file this Statement and any and all amendments and supplements thereto with the Commission.
A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is filed with this Statement as Exhibit 1 and is
incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
The Reporting Persons have agreed in principle to act as a group in connection with the
actions described in Item 4 above. This arrangement is not the subject of a written agreement among
the Reporting Persons and may be modified or terminated at any time at the sole discretion of the
Reporting Persons.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there
are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the
persons enumerated in Item 2 of this Statement, and any other person, with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the
securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
